@marcoarment oh. It’s not close. It’s there.

@marcoarment apropos of nothing, there is an economic strike this month:

I know this won’t make a dent in their profits, but I’ve decided not to replace my 14 Pro Max until absolutely necessary (definitely not this year), cancelled all my AppleCare policies, and disabled automatic updates on all my devices. I no longer recommend or defend the company or its products.Apple is no longer a trusted company in my book.

@freediverx 100% agreed, and I’m also not updating my devices. If enough people do it, hopefully it sends a message.

@kevinrenskers
The change to my position on automated updates was based on the realization that Apple is now turning iWork apps into yet another recurring wealth extraction mechanism. They downgraded Numbers on my iPhone and now the app is infested with a subscription ad. I managed to disable updates on all other devices before it could get to them.I will not allow Apple to hold yet more of my data hostage. I'm now actively researching Linux alternatives for the first time since 2001.

@marcoarment @kevinrenskers Tim Cook's legacy was moving manufacturing jobs from the US to China, teaching them how to make complex products at scale, and how to install suicide nets. We should be glad he’s "destroying it”.
Oh, wait…

@marcoarment I’ll keep making this point: it’s time to stop purchasing new Apple products.
You can get whatever devices you actually need second hand if it comes to it, and Marco, you specifically have a big enough platform that if you advocated for such a boycott, it WOULD be noticed.
Stand on your principles. No new Apple hardware purchases until Tim Cook is no longer CEO.
